In retrospect, it appears that because nothing like this had ever happened here, Lee and Jackson did not fully comprehend what they were fighting. Had this really been a “Civil” War, rather than a secession, they would and could easily have seized Washington after Manassas and hanged our first Communist President and the other war criminals.

So, again, the Republican Party did not “go wrong.” It was rotten from the start. It has never been anything else but red. The characterization of Republican states as “red states” is quite appropriate.
Sorry, I guess I don't go with the John Birch Society's (and Alan Stang's explanation) of the Republican Party being a "Communist Party" political organization from the time of Abraham Lincoln and that Lincoln was a communist... LOL...
